Fruit Shake vs Slate Blue
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Fruit Shake reads as pink-red, while Slate Blue reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Fruit Shake (LRV 57) reflects noticeably more light than Slate Blue (LRV 43), a difference of 13 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Fruit Shake runs red while Slate Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
